About Us

History Antonelli College has been a well-known member of the visual arts community in Cincinnati, Ohio, since 1947. Our mission is to empower individuals by providing quality, focused education and the development of life-changing skills.

The college began as the Gebhardt Art School in 1947 with a philosophy of educating the total artist, based on the fundamentals of craftsmanship. In the mid-1970s, the college was renamed the Ohio Visual Art Institute, and in 1982, it became Antonelli College.

During the 1990s, degree programs were added in business and technology, and in January 2005, even more programs were added in the medical and massage therapy fields. In January 1996, branches in Jackson and Hattiesburg, Mississippi, were opened, thus continuing the long-standing tradition of quality career education. In 2008, Antonelli College added online programs.

Goal, Objective and Philosophy of Teaching The primary goal of Antonelli College is to create an environment that prepares each graduate to become a qualified professional and a well-rounded individual.

Antonelli College offers quality training that is essential for students who wish to acquire the skills necessary to gain a competitive edge in the world today. The objective of Antonelli College is to provide a solid foundation of skills, knowledge and training in a student's chosen field. Training programs offered by the college are designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in their chosen field. Students are trained for the business world of today and tomorrow.

The Antonelli College philosophy of teaching is a combination of direct involvement and critical thinking. To us, direct involvement means hands-on training and real-world education to help our students become competent in the use of the many tools and techniques of their chosen careers. Critical thinking means students should inquire, analyze and understand ideas and processes in depth to apply what they learn to all types of situations that they may encounter after graduation. By encouraging academic inquiry and practical application of specific concepts, Antonelli College prepares its students to achieve success.
